Some MLAs from the conflict-hit state of Manipur are heading to Delhi to meet Home Minister Amit Shah. This meeting includes representatives from the Meitei, Kuki, and Naga communities, aiming to bring peace to the region. Three Naga MLAs have already confirmed their attendance, while it’s unclear how many Meitei and Kuki MLAs will join. The goal is to help resolve the ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur, which started last year and has resulted in over 200 deaths and thousands left homeless.
State Congress leader K Meghachandra supported the peace talks but pointed out that the opposition wasn’t invited. The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF), representing the Kuki-Zo tribes, also said that the MLAs should have consulted with local community groups before the meeting.
